VARIETY OF EPINEPHELE HYPERANTHITS (FEMALE). 
Variety of Epinephele Hyperanthus .—This female speci¬ 
men of a very common butterfly differs in marking from the 
ordinary examples of the species in the larger and more 
conspicuous ocellated spots on the under side, as also by the 
magnitude of the pale circumscription, in this respect differ¬ 
ing from either of those in the fine series (Brit. But. p. 95) 
figured from Mr. Bond’s collection. The specimen is in the 
cabinet of Mr. Stevens, and has been kindly lent for the 
purpose of figuring in the ‘Entomologist.’ 
At a time when that distinguished naturalist Mr. Darwin 
is desirous of collecting information as to the differences in 
the sexes of butterflies having ocellated spots, I need scarcely 
say that I shall consider it a personal obligation to myself if 
any of my correspondents can furnish him with any facts, 
observations or specimens, tending to elucidate the subject of 
these differences .—Eduard Newman.
